Answer:

-5 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

3^(x-1) = 9^(x+2)

Replace 9 with 3^2

3^(x-1) = 3^2^(x+2)

We know that a power to a power means the powers are multiplied

a^b^c = a^(b*c)

3^(x-1) = 3^(2x+2)

When the bases are the same, the powers have to be the same

x-1 = 2x+4

Subtract x from each side

x-x-1 =2x-x+4

-1 =x+4

Subtract 4 from each side

-1-4 =x+4-4

-1-4 = x

-5 =x

Which value would make the statement true? StartFraction 2 Over question mark EndFraction greater-than StartFraction 4 Over 12 E
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 2/? > 4/12, to find the value of ? that will make the expression true, we will cross multiply first

On cross multiplying:

2×12 > 4 × ?

24 > 4 × ?

Divide both sides by 4

24/4 > 4×?/4

6 > ?

This means that ? < 6

The answer will be a value that is less than 6. According to the option, the only value less than 6 is 4. Hence the correct answer is 4.

What is an equation for this line?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y=-x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation for a line, we need to know 2 points.

One of the points is (0,0) because it goes through the origin.  Another point is (5,-5).  We can calculate the slope because we have 2 points using the formula.

m = (y2-y1)/(m2-m1)

m = (-5-0)/(5-0)

m = -5/5

m=-1

The slope is -1

We know the y intercept (where it crosses the y axis) is 0.  Using the slope intercept form of a line

y = mx+b

y =-1x+ 0

y = -x


The equation of the line is y=-x

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE!!
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

x=14 to make the pay equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so what I did here is kind of time-consuming and I'm sure there's a better way, but I used a calculator to substitute a lot of different numbers into the equation to make it equal, and when I got to 14, the equations both ended up as 625.
